Come celebrate Jesus and his birth at East Coast Believers Church this Christmas Eve! We can’t wait to get together as a community to worship our Savior.

We’ll have cookies and milk, songs of praise, a candle lighting, and Communion! Everyone is welcome, so make sure all of your friends and family are invited!

We have a very special evening in store that will be filled with song and Scripture as we reflect on the birth of our Savior. This is a perfect opportunity to invite family and friends as we enjoy the music and message of Christmas in a one-hour service.

Identical candlelight services will be held at both 3:30 and 5:00 p.m.Childcare is provided for children up to three years old during the 3:30 p.m. Service. We look forward to worshiping with you.

At 4:00 p.m. all children and their families are invited to participate in the very special telling of the Christmas story at our annual Children’s Nativity Pageant. Children are asked to come dressed in costumes as shepherds, angels, Mary, Joseph, Wiseman, and farm animals as we travel back to Bethlehem. We provide a limited number of costumes on the patio prior to the pageant. We look forward to sharing this special story with your family.

St. Luke’s will have a photographer taking pictures at this service so that families can experience worship. Free photos will be available for download at www.st.lukes.org the week after Christmas.

Candlelight Christmas Eve Worship Services will celebrate Christ’s birth with music and a message. All services will be in the St. Luke’s Sanctuary.

Childcare will be available for the 5:30 and 7:00 p.m. Christmas Eve services. (No reservation is needed.)

Please note: Most of these worship experiences will fill to capacity at least 15 minutes before start time. Please arrive no later than 30-45 minutes before service start time for the best chance of being seated at the service of your choice. The 5:30, 7:00 and 8:30 p.m. worship experiences are the most well attended, so please plan accordingly.
